We purchased our portable spa from Valley Hot Spring Spas in Murrieta, Ca less than a year ago and just love it! It is the first portable spa we have owned. It is very little maintenance and we are completely happy with our purchase.

This is the 3rd hottub I have owned in the past 23 years and my second Hot Springs model. Deciding to buy From Olympic Hot Tub Company was a great move, They made it so easy for me, they delivered it and set it up. When I bought this tub I downsized to the Prodigy and it has turned out to be the perfect size for me. It is so easy to maintain the water quality with the ozone system and Silk Balance, Everytime I open the cover I have bright crystal clear water. The variety of jets on this tub makes it so I and relax and have the massaging action anywhere I need it.
I highly recommend Hot Springs Hot Tubs and Olympic Hot Tub Company To everyone in the Pacific Northwest.

Nov 2003 Prodigy was/is poor quality or a lemon

No, I do not recommend this product.
PostedAugust 1, 2012
First yrs with this tub - control panel went out (wouldn't cut off), Secondary panel on tub had to be replaced, pump was replaced, heater circuit board replace (with new design that wont' burn out like the original but wasn't covered - warranty was out), I replaced diverter valve after it broke, Leisure Lifestyles, Columbus, GA said when it was still under warranty that the diverter valve not covered. While under warranty the base (plywood?) was dropping down. Leisure Lifestyles had to drain, carry in, repair and 'refoam'? - fortunately Tech had prior approval from Hot Springs cause once picked up they wanted to renig on repair. Mike w/technical support at Leisure is about all I could recommend from Leisure Lifestyles or Hot Springs. Recently replaced ozonator with JED103 which I hear my dealer uses as a cheaper alternative to the HotSprings Ozonator. Dealer wanted $160 for JED103 + $80 to install (if my memory serves me). I purchased unit for $99 online and replaced for $0. I'm waiting on rotary jet (from internet site) now 'cause store don't stock and couldn't order over the weekend but I could on line with another vendor. WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS, I can say I've enjoyed my Prodigy. BUT there is something wrong with quality of this tub. I actually think I got a lemon or one that was abused during production 'cause first few yrs I had nothing but problems. Pump making noise - was told I'd have to pay and if Hot Springs determined that I didn't have build up because of chemicals. So I guess soon I'll have to pay for pump. Now have issues which I'd assume common with aging stuff but I'm getting better at home repairs - - - can't afford your local dealer, prices or labor. All said I would have mixed feelings on whether to recommend to friend or not. Same would be true on next purchase for this household. I would certainly do much searching on internet for reviews of other hot tubs before 'settling' for a Hot Springs Prodigy again - - - THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A CADILLAC and believe it was a dang GM product.

Love my hot tub

Age:Over 65
Gender:female
Yes, I recommend this product.
PostedJuly 30, 2012
This is our second Hot Spring Spa from Olympic Hot Tub in Seattle. The first was a Classic which is no longer made. When we re-did our roof deck, we went with the Prodigy. Have never had a service call in the 8 years we've owned it. The energy use is so low we don't see it on our bill even though we keep it hot all of the time. Easy, easy, easy to care for because the filtration is so good. Love the comfortable seating & perfect jets-not too hard; not too soft. There is absolutely no noise or vibration even though the circulation pump is on 24/7. This is important because we're close to neighbors & didn't want that rumble of pump noise for them and didn't want it for ourselves either!
A neighbor 5 doors up the street has another brand that is so loud when the pump comes on that we can't keep our windows open in the summer.
All in all the Prodigy's been a fantastic investment for our health and relaxation. Wouldn't be without it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks Hot Spring for making such a great product!

Service and Quality issues

Customer avatar
Disappointed
from Bremerton, Wa
No, I do not recommend this product.
PostedJune 14, 2012
We purchased the Prodigy Spa from Olympic Hot Tubs in Tacoma, Wa 6 years ago. We did enjoy it for three years with very few problems, only using it about 1-3 times per week. We had owned a Hot Springs tub previously and loved it, but moved within 2 years and left it at the old house. Our new spa had the topside control panel go dead during the second year, and were told by Olympic it was no longer covered under warranty. A service call would cost $300.00 just to look at it! We decided it wasn't worth the cost! Next item that went out was the heater about a year later. Again, called Olympic and they said someone would call us to arrange service. No one called, no one came. Then one year later the electrical components began to fail. I have owned swimming pools and Hot tubs and am meticulous about proper care. This spa simply did not meet the promises and guarantees made by the manufacturer and Olympic Hot Tubs could care less about providing any kind of warranty or out of warranty service. If you plan to purchase this spa, think of it as a disposable investment after the warranty expires!!

We have owned a Hot Spring Sovereign Spa since 2002 and decided to get a new spa this year. We selected the Prodigy this time and we are very delighted. It has plenty of room and great jets. We feel like we are living "the life of Riley" with our new spa. We use it every morning and every night and it makes us feel wonderful!

This is our second Hot Springs Spa! When we sold our previous house we included the spa (only because it would have been too difficult to move 2300 miles). We just recently purchased the exact same spa for our new home. We never even considered buying anything other than a Hot Springs Spa. You can spend less but you are not getting anywhere near the same quality as a Hot Springs! We are very happy with our new spa and would highly recommend it to others.

This is my second hot tub. My first tub was not a hot spring and did not last 5 years. My friends all bought hot springs but I went with something cheaper and with more features. It seemed like a good idea...OH WELL.
My new Hot Spring Prodigy is a joy to maintain. It takes very little chemical and the water stays clean. I love the 2 pump system and that i never hear it cycle or heat. It heats up amazingly fast and is very efficient. I hope this tub will last me for at least the next ten years. it's simplicity makes it seem bulletproof. The Prodigy is the perfect size. Thanks

We bought our Prodigy Hot Springs Spa this past winter. We use it 5 or 6 times a week, and absolutely love it! It is comfortable to sit in and has various types of jet combinations that you can use to massage and relax your muscles. It is easy to maintain and care for, although we recommend that you check the water levels twice a week instead of once, especially to keep on top of ph levels. We checked out about a half dozen other spa brands and Hot Springs kept coming out on top in terms of energy efficiency, water quality, workmanship, insulation, design, comfort, value, and ease of use. We love it and look forward to many years of enjoyment!

We owned a Prodigy back in the 90s. We took the spa across the country to MN and then to NY. It was still going strong when we gave it to our neighbors upon returning to California. We bought a Jacuzzi in 2000 and had nothing but problems starting in year three of ownership. We decided to buy another Prodigy and are extremely happy we did ! It is by far the best spa we have owned.

Posted March 23, 2013
I am curious what people think a 2006 model H Prodigy would be worth? The people have taken very good care of it as it has been under cover and also a cover has been kept on it. I was told they paid $8K for it brand new.
any input would be appreciated.

Many years go I purchased a Hot Springs spa for the back deck at my house. My wife at the time and I really enjoyed it. We did a lot of research before purchasing a spa. Our spa was wonderful and problem free for many years.
In the sumer of 2011 I was having some health issues and my fibromyalgia was really acting up. I decided to purchase a spa. I did not even look at any other brand. I knew I wanted a Hot Springs and that is what I purchased. It meets my expectations completely. I would highly recommend a Hot Springs Spa to anyone. You get what you pay for and they stand behind their product. I use mine almost every day. Try one. Russ
